Rocco
Rocco is a 2 year old red dobie with a docked tail and natural ears. He was neutered this week and is now in the search for his new home while he gains some much needed weight. We don’t know a lot about him just yet because we haven’t been able to spend a lot of time with him, but we do know two homes have failed him. One of our volunteers who also trains will be assessing him some time this week when she takes him out for walks. For now, what we see is a goofy red boy! He came from Idaho where he was kept as an outdoor dog and winter is not a good time for a Doberman to be out in the cold. His picture comes to us courtesy of the wonderful transport group that was able to help us get him to Salt Lake. All the people on the transport loved him and said he’s just a big sweetheart with humans. Titans Doggy Daycare is also helping us out with him so he doesn’t have to spend his days in a kennel without interaction. We appreciate it!

Minka
Pretty Minka needs a new home as the owner will be losing their home & wants to find her a new loving home before that happens.
Good w/people, good with kids and, with proper introductions, well behaved dogs.
House trained, but does take Proin for spay incontinence.
Very sweet, staying w/owner until a new home is found. We are acting as a referral only at this time.
Dobermans listed here are not through our rescue. We have not met these dogs nor have we assessed these dogs. We are cross posting to help them find a home. Any information on them came directly from the shelter, rescue, or owners.
Current dogs on cross post: Minka, Bennie, Frau, Jim and Dwight so keep scrolling!
Bennie
Meet Bennie! He’s with Ohana rescue, neutered, UTD on shots, has a tail and poorly cropped ears.
This handsome 1 year old Dobie boy has been in rescue since October and was transferred over from another rescue to get a better shot at life, as a kennel environment wasn't vibing with him.
What can we tell you about this guy?
He loves....hard.
He is sweet as cherry pie.
He has a bit of stranger danger we're working on with him, but he has 0 aggression, he's just a big baby with new human friends.
He loves other dogs and he gets along well with cats!
To learn more about Bennie, call/text us at 801-372-9140
Frau
Best Friends has taken Frau in and she’s looking for a new home. She’s a blue Dobie. They believe she was born in 2017 so she’s a senior. The link below will take you right to her page.
Dwight and Jim
Located at the West Valley Animal Shelter
West Valley has two Doberman mixes at the shelter. Their names are Jim and Dwight. They are both fully vaccinated, chipped, neutered, six year old males who came in to the shelter as strays on January 2nd.
They have been absolutely terrified of everything since coming in and we’ve made little progress on building confidence. They have both been dog tested and seem to not really care about other dogs or each other. They could be placed separately. There is a potential foster coming to meet Jim, but no placement for Dwight. Dwight seems to be more stressed and has started to pace in his kennel. They both enjoy the yard, peanut butter and chin scratches.

How To Adopt
Rescue FAQs
What is the Utah Doberman Rescue?
The UDR, a division of the Salt Lake Doberman Pinscher Club, consists of volunteers who are dedicated to finding quality homes for needy Dobermans. We place an average of 100 dogs each year.
Are There Any Fees To Adopt Through Rescue?
The Doberman Rescue pays for all expenses related to each dog in our care. This includes a veterinary exam, vaccinations, spaying or neutering, micro-chipping, treating for worms, and heartworm testing. It also includes boarding where necessary as well as the upkeep of the dogs in foster situations. Obviously this is very expensive and any help is greatly appreciated. We ask that new owners donate $250 to the Utah Doberman Rescue so that we can partially cover some of these costs.
What area do we serve?
Most of our Dobermans come from the Salt Lake City and Ogden areas, but we accept dogs from much of the intermountain region, including Wyoming, Idaho, and southern Utah.
What is required to adopt?
Prospective owners must fill out an adoption application and agree to abide by the terms of our adoption contract. We are looking for stable, loving, permanent homes with adequately fenced yards for our Dobermans. Dobermans do not have enough coat, nor the disposition, to be kept as an outdoor dog. They must be house dogs and must never, ever be chained as a way of confinement. They love their people and want to be with you constantly.
Will an adult Doberman adjust to an new family?
Dobermans are extremely people oriented. They were bred to be a companion and protector of man. As a rule, they bond very quickly with their new family members because they crave human contact so much. Often dogs from the worst backgrounds, those who have been abused and neglected, are the most loving. They truly appreciate the attention and security given to them and with time and proper care and respect become completely devoted to their new owners.
How can I help?
Volunteers are needed to work with the shelters, especially in areas at a distance from the Salt Lake Area, to exercise the dogs who are being boarded, and to help with fund-raising. Good foster homes are always needed. If you can't volunteer, donations are gratefully accepted. You can use the link provided below.
